If you're planning to hop into Battlefield 6's open beta later this week, you might have to do some digging around in your PC's settings in order to get in. EA have elected to make enabling secure boot on your hardware mandatory, as part of an effort to limit cheating.
It's not that surprising a move, given the publishers opted to make it a hard requirement for Battlefield 2042 earlier this year. EA's not alone either, with the likes of Riot having already done the same with fellow online shooter Valorant. You see, the real war isn't about nations, resources, or petty rulers' personal grievances - it's to ensure you don't get sniped by a Terminator with permanent x-ray vision or auto-aim.
